OurCountry’s Garbage
IncreasIng volume of garbage
In our country has become
a constant battle of every

Solid waste management refers to the control of generation, storage, collection, transfer and disposal in accord with principles of public health and environmental considerations responsive to public attitude.
Garbage or waste is any discarded household or institutional and commercial wastes that are non-hazardo`us and non-toxic that are generated from different human and animal activities as describe by the Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of the Philippines.
Ecological Sol id Waste Management Act of the Philippines or RA 9003 is an existing law in the Philippines enacted in the year 2001 that manage the collection, transfer, transport, processing, and disposal of solid waste in the country.
It is declared in the Article 1 Section 2 of the said law that the state shall adopt a systematic, comprehensive and ecological solid waste management program in which it shall ensure the protection of the public health and environment.
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila or PLM is one of those institutions that adapt the RA
9003 to ensure the cleanliness of the university. RA 9003 guides the university regarding proper solid waste management.
PLM is a learning institution that was established through a Republic Act known as RA 4196. It is located in Intramuros, Manila and considered as the largest city-funded university.
PLM already proved that it excels in academic field producing some of the most respected names in various fields and being one of the top 10 performing schools in the university because of its outstanding performance in different board and licensure examinations.
PLM indeed excels in the field of knowledge and learning but there’s still an issue in the university that they’ve been trying to solve, solid waste management.
Physical Development and Special Projects Office or PDSPO is the department in the university that handles the solid waste management in the university. They are the ones that make sure that the existing rules and a policy regarding solid waste management is being implemented. But even though it is being implemented, issues regarding solid waste management in the university remains one of the concerns of the administration such as improper waste disposal due to absence of waste segregation.
Improper waste management in the university can be a product of different factors that concerns the administration, PDSPO or the students. However, the university shall work hard to solve the issue in solid waste management to continue to become a truthfully efficient learning institution for academic excellence.
PLM indeed exceLs in

PLM is adapting the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act or Republic Act 9003 (RA 9003) to ensure that the cleanliness of PLM is not taken for granted.
RA 9003 assigns the Local Government Units to be in charge of the solid waste management in their community.
10 ZWEEP SYSTEM
Garbage has become a serious perennial issue in our country right now. According to National Solid Waste Management System, 8 700 tons of garbage are produced just in Metro Manila alone.
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) is also experiencing this type of problem when it comes to wastes. The inevitable increase in the volume of university wastes that PLM is producing becomes a serious threat and problem to the administrators of PLM especially that the health and safety of every student is at risk.
Aside from being a well-known university that produced and mold respectable professionals in various fields, PLM shall also work on being the university that is look up to in terms cleanliness. PLM shall also produce not only academically successful individuals but also green minded or environment conscious students.
PLM is adapting the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act or Republic Act 9003 (RA 9003) to ensure that the cleanliness of PLM
is not taken for granted. RA 9003 assigns the Local Government Units to be in charge of the solid waste management in their community.
Despite the solid waste management of the university, the overwhelming increase with the volume of the wastes in the university remains a major concern that university is facing.
It’s safe to say that the never ending story of increasing volume of wastes in the university is because of improper waste management programs.
Therefore, to protect the health and cleanliness of the university as well as its stakeholders, a policy that will cater proper waste management in the university in terms of waste generation, storage, collection, processing and recovery and disposal shall be made to give the students a place where they can be safe.
To address this issue of PLM regarding solid waste management, a proposal is made that will lead to policy formulation entitled ZWEEP or Zero Waste Ethics, Education and Programs.
ZWEEP
ZWEEP is a proposal that will serve as a benchmark for a new policy in the university. It is based from the different point of views, the POV of the students and administration. It will gives reference on what the new policy shall have to guide the students and PDSPO on what is the right thing to do in terms of solid waste management. It will also educate the students to be aware and knowledgeable of solid waste management and it will also suggest to create different programs or projects that will encourage the students to participate in the program.

Rationale
AS ONE OF THE TOP EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES, THE BEHAVIOR
OF STUDENTS TOWARDS A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT IN
PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG MAyNILA REFLECTS THE IMAGE
OF THE UNIVERSITy.
Solid waste management is the proper handling of solid waste materials. People, may they be in an academic community or not, are generating big volumes of waste every day. It is a bigger dilemma for universities, though, because of how an unhealthy environment affects the physical and psychological health of a student. But solid waste management will always be an issue because solid wastes are inevitable as long as people satisfy their basic needs like the need for food and drinks, thus, the garbage.
Solid wastes are being handled through waste segregation, waste reduction, and waste reuse. In the past years, the PLM has been following the Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act. It has been proven in the past years, too, that this law is not enough to provide a concrete solid waste management system in PLM.
Problems in the proper waste segregation, waste reduction, and waste reuse arise in the university because students are not aware that the said practices are being implemented in the university.
Also, the PDSPO is not aggressive enough in implementing rules and policies to the students, which made the students phlegmatic in issues concerning the environment.
As one of the top educational institutions in the Philippines, the behavior of students towards a cleaner environment in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila reflects the image of the university. Due to the problems mentioned above, the researchers came up with a ZWEEP System that would help provide a new set of plans, education, and activities for the betterment of the current solid waste management of the institution.

material Recovery facility
MRF gives universities easier disposal of wastes because you can easily see what are the wastes that will go to dump sites and wastes that can still be useful.
Material Recovery Facility is where the collected waste materials from households, universities or any institution are being sorted into different types namely biodegradable, non-biodegradable, recyclable and compostable which promotes easier processing and recovery.Having MRF is really important in maintaining the orderliness of the materials that we used.
Aside from maintaining the orderliness in having MRF, it can also be useful in containing funds especially in universities. The used materials that were transformed or recycled into something can be sold to have funds in the university and help each student in their expenses.
A gOOd mRf muST hAvE ThE fOLLOWINg fACTORS:
It must have a roof to protect the wastes from extensive heat and rain because it has direct effects
on the wastes.
The area of the MRF must be big enough to accommodate high volume of wastes that a
university is generating.
The wastes that will be stored must be segregated properly
according to its label.
It must be located near the back door of any university
for easier transfer of wastes to dump trucks.
The person who will be in charge with the MRF must
undergo training in handling a MRF.
The solid waste facility must be included but not limited to the amount of disposal capacity needed to accommodate the solid waste generated. The facility must be a safe site for temporary storage. It must be transferred and finally disposed on a daily basis. It must be properly maintained for public health, it is greatly prohibited to use open dumps as storage.
27MANUAL
SOLID WASTE SEGREGATION
WASTE DISPOSAL The university must be aggressive in implementing the rules and policies in waste disposal. To ensure that proper waste disposal is being implemented, the following course of actions must be done:
The implementers of the policy must do segregation at source to impose proper waste disposal and waste segregation.
Solid waste segregation is how the wastes must be segregated to meet the proper solid waste management of what is implemented. To create solid waste segregation effective in this university, the following course of actions must be done:
Wastes disposed must avoid burning of wastes.
Segregation must be properly implemented in terms of waste disposal.
Segregation must be properly implemented in terms of waste disposal.
Trash bins must be allocated enough for the wastes generated by the student body and must be place in the areas where most of the wastes are generated.
Trash bins must be easily moved in its place for the time that it will be needed in other areas for bulk wastes, it can be easily move.
Trash bins must be available in different class rooms.
Sanctions must be given to those students who are not following proper waste disposal based on the weight of their violations.
Four different trash bins must be allocated in different areas in the university enough to accommodate the waste generated by the students.
It must be properly colored differently to distinguished the differences of each trash bins with proper labels.
Each trash bins must labeled as “Dry Paper”, “Compostables”, “Recyclables” and “Other Wastes”.
Dry Paper trash bins include used wastes like white paper or colored paper, crumpled or not.
Compostable trash bins include wastes like left over foods and wet paper
Recyclable trash bins include wastes like aluminum cans, plastic and glass bottles
Other wastes include wastes styrofoams, cartons, plastic bag and cups, junk food and candy wrappers
28 ZWEEP SYSTEM
SOLID WASTE REDUCTION & REUSE
REDUCTION OF USE OF NON-BIODEGRADABLE
Solid Waste Reduction is to reduce the volume of solid wastes that will be collected especially non-biodegradable, implementation of strategies is greatly needed. You can reduce wastes by simply reusing wastes that can still be useful. Most of these non biodegradable materials are from food services.
Incentives will be given to those who will reduce the use of non -biodegradable. Waste Reduction will be best practiced if the students will be willing to pack foods in their own lunch box and water jug. Aside from this, the efficiency of the use of paper, cardboard, glass and less plastics and styro must be utilized among concessionaires and students in the university.
Students must be aware of the use of recyclable, reusable and biodegradable materials like bags and containers. All stores located inside PLM must be mandated to only sell and allow the following as checkout bags or containers to students:
Recycled or recyclable paper bags;Biodegradable plastic bagsReusable bags, such as cloth bags/eco bags Tupperware and the like orCorrugated boxes or cartons.
29MANUAL
INFORMATION DISSEMINATION COLLATERALS
It is very important to motivate
the students to be aware of the
existing policy. A continuous
public awareness campaigns
must be done to engage the
students to be part of the
solid waste management
system. The following are the
proposed activities for constant
information dissemination.
To assure that students will
follow the said actions in the,
Education will also be the
focus of the system. In this
section, different information
dissemination techniques will
be formulated to guarantee
that students will not only be
aware of the existence of the
policy thus, they will also be
knowledgeable in a way that
they are applying the things
they know about the proper
solid waste management
system in PLM. The following
actions will be done to educate
the PLM students of the proper
solid waste management
system in the university.
8.1 Establishing a Curriculum Regarding Solid Waste management
As advice by the NSWMC it is best to establish a curriculum regarding solid waste management system to teach the students proper awareness and knowledge regarding the solid waste management. The curriculum will tackle about what is the proper waste disposal from its segregation, reduction and reuse.`
8.2 Semestral Orientation
PDSPO will conduct a semestral orientation to enlighten the students on the status of solid waste management system in PLM. In here, the students will be updated to the problems, issues, concerns and changes about the solid waste management in the university. This orientation will serves as the guidelines or basis of the students in practicing the solid waste management, also they will be able to know and learn different aspects of solid waste management system of PLM.
30 ZWEEP SYSTEM
8.3 Ecoways video
A 30 seconds to 1 minute short video will be created that will be screened in different televisions scattered in the university that is operated by ITC. The video is an informative one in which the important and significant things that needs to be done for the proper solid waste management system are included. This will educate the students of what is the proper management of solid waste in the university, proper waste segregation will be tackled in the video, as well as proper waste reduction, reuse, recycling and disposal.
8.4 Seminars and Workshops
Seminars will also be conducted to educate the students. The seminars that will be accomplished will tackle different topics that are in line with the maintenance of proper solid waste management in the university. Some of the topics that are included may be about solid waste and management system, different areas of solid waste management system, such as the basic 3R’s or commonly known as Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, included also are the topics that really needs an improvement in the university such as the proper waste segregation and waste disposal. Along with the seminars, workshops will also be conducted to educate and to enhance the skills and proficiency of the students in applying what they learned in different topics that are tackled in the seminars. Workshops will be done to assure that students do not only know what the tackled topics are, but also for them to know how their understanding in the topics will be applied in the environment they are involved. In these workshops, students can learn different things and actions, such as recycling and reusing trash as well as the segregation. Workshops can also help to improve the system of the students on how they follow the solid waste management system in PLM.
8.5 ZWEEP manuals
Manuals will be produced that will be available to each student in the university. The manual contains new policies regarding the proper waste disposal of wastes It also includes the facts about solid waste management specifically segregation, reduction, reusing and recycling. Also stated in the manual are the things that students should know in the proper solid waste management, included also are the tips and guidelines and the actions that should and should not be done in managing solid waste.
31MANUAL
8.6 ZWEEPvisory
ZWEEPvisory refers to the different collaterals will be produced to create awareness as well as to inform and educate students in the proper solid waste management in the university.
Posters, Signages, Keychains, Stickers and Bag Tags will be distributed all over the university. Posters will be produced and will be posted in different parts and in every room of the university. The poster’s content will be the different topics in solid waste management that needs an improvement in the university, such things as what is and how is the
proper waste segregation and waste disposal, what should be and should not be done in proper waste reduction, reuse, recycle, and the likes. By the use of these posters, students will be educated of the things that are right and just in the solid waste management system in the university.
Stickers will also be produced to educate the students. These stickers are intended for each garbage bins in the university. Each sticker will be attached in each garbage bins containing what the specific bin is and what should be thrown in that bin. Stickers will be a
big help for the students for them to know the things that should they know. These stickers will educate them on maintaining the proper solid waste management in the university, because by the use of the stickers students will have a guide on the proper segregation as well as on the proper disposal.
Bag Tags and Keychains with eco-friendly designs will also be distributed to each student. In the design of the said collaterals, pieces of advices or encouragements will also be indicated to remind the students to maintain the proper solid waste management in PLM.

This project is for the students and the PDSPO department to inform them in
the first step of improving the solid waste management system of the PLM. This
first step is to know the basic which is the 3R’s also known as REDUCE, REUSE,
and RECYCLE. This first step of the improvement of the system will prepare the
students and PDSPO department in different actions that are needed to be done.
This is one of the projects that will be implemented in the university. This
project is adapted to the NSWMC, in here, each student will be encouraged to
donate recyclable materials that can be converted into money as an exchange to
their donations. The conversion of materials to money will be achieved because
each students of PLM will be given an ecosavers bank wherein the equivalent
money of their donations will be deposited. Their savings in their ecosavers
bank will be used by the students as their income or allowance, this can also be
use when students need money for a project or school works.
Project for Styrofoam and plastic management will also be conducted. In here
students will be able to participate in minimization of Styrofoam and plastics as
well as proper storage and collecting of the used plastic and Styrofoam that will
be then useful and valuable. Useful in the sense that it can give money as well
as it can have different useful outputs.

9.4In this project the students are encourage to find ways to achieve the zero waste
environment. Students are also encouraged to find ways and not waste, in a
sense that they will practice on their own how to minimize their trash or how
to reduce it. In addition, the ways that are included in this project are the things
that students should do to lessen the trash; lessening trash includes reusing
and recycling. In general, this project only encourages students to find their
own ways how to maintain the proper solid waste management system in the
university by means of their own solid waste management.
ECOSAvERS.
This project is also intended for the students, where all trash will have
its own worth. You throw? The university will give back. In this project,
every collected trash of students, organizations or colleges has its own
equivalent, not in the form of money but in the form of useful materials.
Like for example, if students collected used papers, the student will only
give it and the university will change it to a brand new paper. This project
will encourage the students to participate and follow the proper solid
waste management system in PLM.
This project aims to improve the trash bin system of the university. This
is to allocate more trash bins around the university as well as in each
room. In here, 4 trash bins will be proposed, the said trash bins will be
for DRY PAPER which include used wastes like white paper or colored
paper, crumpled or not. There are bins for COMPOSTABLES that include
wastes like left over foods and wet paper. RECYCLABLES for wastes
like aluminum cans, plastic and glass bottles and OTHER WASTES that
include wastes Styrofoam, cartons, plastic bag and cups, junk food and
candy wrappers. By this project, the waste generation and collection of the
university will be developed.
The Festival entitled “Wise Ways for Waste” is a one-day annual event
celebrating the zero waste university environment. The festival includes
exhibits, contests, colloquiums, and more different activities that will
promote the proper solid waste management in the university. The goal of
this festival is to boost the awareness and knowledge of PLM students that
zero waste environment must be attained in the university as well as the
good effects of the proper solid waste management system.
